WATCH: Steve McCabe's 2017 General Election Pledges

Work with others to cut unemployment in the constituency which is still higher than the national average, secure investment, good jobs and high quality apprenticeships for our area. I will hold an annual Jobs Fair.

Our NHS and Social Care

Make sure that NHS bosses don’t try to make crucial decisions about our health care without listening to you first. Protect local services and Katie Road NHS Walk In Centre. Campaign on children’s dental health and report back to you on local NHs plans.

Policing and the Fight Against Crime

Demand more police and resources to fight crime. Support the victims of crime and stand up for law abiding people not criminals. I will host regular events to hear your suggestions for tackling crime and to discuss ways we can fight back. I will work for specific action on antisocial behaviour and the motor bike menace.

Housing and our environment

I will back the building of quality, affordable houses and campaign to reduce rough sleeping. Fight unfair planning laws, rogue landlords and developers. I will bring all the main housing players together for a Housing Summit.

Education and Schools Fight

Unfair school funding plans and support teachers. Work for more support for education and retraining opportunities for all. Launch constituency School Standards Challenge.
